Providing Global Public Goods: Managing Globalization

Inge Kaul

Abstract

The national economic concept of ‘public goods’ has its transnational analogue, which provides a signpost to the effective management of globalization processes. The pursuit of global public goods, along with the prevention of global public bads, will assist the attainment of a more equitable, and hence a more stable, world order, and should be seen as a vital complement to economic development aid.

Keywords: development aid, global public goods, globalization, public goods
